[PHP] file upload question
Hey all,
i am using move_upload function to upload files to the server, but i
want to add a feature that will allow files to be archived that have
been uploaded already.
so, the problem is:
i upload a file that i want to upgrade and move the old file to an
archive directory but I want to verify the NEW file is upload BEFORE
moving the old file (the file being uploaded might not have the same
filename as the old file currently on the server)..
i want to move the old file only when the new file was successfully
uploaded. something like:
if(move_uploaded_file())
{
rename(...);
}
only one problem.. then if both files have the same name it will be
overwritten before it moves the old one i want to save. if i move the
old one first, there still the possibility of the new upload failing so
i am back to square one..
i guess i can move_upload to a different directory, verify it's been
uploaded, move the old to the archive file, then move the new file back
to where it should be (where the archive file was)..
is that my only option? any suggestions?

Do an check for the file before moving it
If(file_exists($filename)){
// copy file out to archive
}
}if(move_uploaded_file())
{
}

[PHP] File Upload Question
Perhaps this is more about HTML than PHP, but the PHP $_FILES var seems to be set up to allow a list of files to be uploaded. How does one get the pop-up window to allow a user to select (ctrl-click or whatever) multiple files in the same pop-up window? Everything I have tried has left the user restricted to selecting one file only. thanks in advance. Warren Vail

[PHP] File upload question
Hi, If I allow multiple file uploads in my custom designed discussion board if there any way to collect all attachments file names by reloading page and than upload all of them on Post button (form submission)? Displaying multiple input type=file on a page does not look as a nice solution to me as amount of allowed attachments can be unrestricted. It looks like all web based systems(yahoo mail, hotmail) upload files to server one by one and than , I guess, they have type of pruning system which cleans server's file system to delete files which were uploaded as a part of compose new mail but never saved by web users. I think it is done by looking for a files which does not have corresponding entries in DB + timestamp on files which should be greater than session timeout for system (if defined). To summarize: If anyone has an idea how to collect file names of files to upload by rePOSTing script and finally submit it to upload all files as one go.

Re: [PHP] File upload question
Hi Igor, The approach taken by yahoo etc is the most popular. In your case you will just need to enter the message in it's entirity in the database as you normally would but perhaps mark it as a draft so that it does not become visible. SHAMLESS PLUG: alternatively you can use rad upload at http://www.radinks.com/upload/ which can fit the bill including uploading any number of files. all the best Igor Kryltsov wrote: Hi, If I allow multiple file uploads in my custom designed discussion board if there any way to collect all attachments file names by reloading page and than upload all of them on Post button (form submission)?

Re: [PHP] File upload question
Hi, You recommend to allocate post id when Compose mail pressed and set draft(boolean) = true. Than I can attach files one by one linking them to post_id in DB. This approach is better than mine, I think, as files will be already linked to post_id in DB and if post will never be submitted prune script will delete records from DB and files from FS using same criterias (timestamp + draft=true). In my approach files will be stored somewhere in /draft directory and their names have to be passed as html form parameters if later on Submit will occur. Than they will be moved to /attch dir being linked to DB entries.

RE: [PHP] file upload question
You have to include a filename along with the path when you're using move_uploaded_file(); if you're only specifying '/usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/blast/images' as your destination string, php is trying to create a file named 'images' in '/usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/blast'. If there's still a problem, the user that your webserver (and therefore php, in most cases) runs as may not have write permission to the directory you're trying to move to. Make sure the webserver can write to the destination directory. mh. On Fri, 24 Jan 2003, Andrew Rench wrote: thanks for the advice- this makes sense as to why I'm not seeing the file.

[PHP] File Upload Question - Previewing .jpgs
To all,
The following is a file upload question using PHP.
I am able to upload a file to my server with the following script. (see
below)
It's in two parts - the first is a html form and the second is the php
script which takes the variable $img1_name.
However, I'd like to check if, in fact, the file was uploaded to the server.
The only way I can check this is to copy and paste the pathname that I
upoloaded in the browser's window like:
c:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/reservoirphoto.jpg
When I do that the photo does load - however it loads in a paint program I
use like PaintShopPro - not as a file within the browser.
The question is this...in the textbook I'm reading (Julie Meloni - PHP Fast
and Easy - page 174), it says that:
(I can) use the File / Open Page / menu item in your web browser to
navigate through your filesystem and find the file you uploaded.
The screenshot in the book has the .jpg file photo *within* the browser
screen - not by itself in a paint program.
Can anybody assist me in this?
Thanking all in advance.

Re: [PHP] File Upload Question - Previewing .jpgs
That's a browser/image type issue. If you're trying it with a JPEG image (as the
message title suggests) then it's a browser issue -- your browser doesn't handle
JPEG files due to local settings, and starts up the paint program instead. If
you're trying with some other image type (such as TIFF for instance) then this
is normal behaviour, because browsers don't generally understand other formats
than GIF, JPEG and maybe BMP and PNG, depending on the browser.
Since you seem to be using a JPEG image after all, you should check your
browser's file associations (I don't know what's the browser you're using) and
remove the association with the paint program for JPEG's.

[PHP] File Upload Question...
Merry Christmas everybody.
I am using MS Windows 98 with Apache and following an example in Julie
Meloni's PHP - Fast and Easy (Chapter 10) in which she describes file
uploading using PHP on page 168-174.
She has two files:
1) an html form to receive the input from the user for the file to be
uploaded
2) a .php script to accept the variable and use the copy() function.
.
The scripts are as follows:
(html form)
HTML
HEAD
TITLEUpload a File/TITLE
/HEAD
BODY
H1Upload a File/H1
FORM METHOD=post ACTION=do_upload.php ENCTYPE=multipart/form-data
pstrongFile to Upload:/strongbr
INPUT TYPE=file NAME=img1 SIZE=30/p
PINPUT TYPE=submit NAME=submit VALUE=Upload File/p
/FORM
/BODY
/HTML
(.php script)
?
if ($img1_name != ) {
@copy($img1, c:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/$img1_name)
or die(Couldn't copy the file.);
} else {
die(No input file specified);
}
?

byte file with a mime type of ? echo $img1_type; ?./P
/BODY
/HTML
..
My questions:
I am able to upload a file from My Documents to the Apache server however
in her book, she describes that the user can verify that the file was
uploaded to the server by going to:
File/ Open Page / in ones web browser to navigate through their filesystem
to
find the file that was uploaded. There is a screenshot in the book that
shows the .jpeg file on the screen with the browser at:
file:///C/Apache/htdocs/blahblah.jpg
I can't seem to verify that the file exists using this method.
The only way I can verify that the file was indeed uploaded is to go into
the folder within Apache that was specified in the path and check there.
*How can I check by going through the browser window?*
Next question:
When I check that the file was uploaded, the file is saved in:
C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/$img1_name
as the *regular *.jpeg name I originally gave it - not the variable - $img1.
Is this correct? Or, should the file be saved as:
img1?
And the last question:
This is the line I received upon sending the file:
You sent: KewpieSmall.jpeg, a 3127 byte file with a mime type of
image/pjpeg.

You can just make a file-upload element in your form. E.g.: INPUT type="file" name="f[myFile]" In your "result-page" you can use the uploaded file pretty straightforward: temp-filename: $f[myFile] filename: $f_name[myFile] size: $f_size[myFile] mimetype: $f_type[myFile] -- * RzE: *** ** Renze Munnik ** ** E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ** M: +31 6 218 111 43 *** -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yes. Refer to PHP Manual. There is description for that. -- Yasuo Ohgaki "Joe Stump" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
